          ANTALYA

Antalya is a province in the southern Mediterranean region of . Turkey.Antalya is on the Turquoise Riviera with clear waters and beautiful Mediterranean coastline, the region is great for divers, swimmers and yachting.Although many people come to Antalya just for the beaches and the fun associated with them, the city has lots more to offer. Like many other Turkish cities, it dates back to Greek and Roman times and has a few sights to prove it. The Kale, the Ottoman citadel, is the nicest part of town. Narrow alleys, old timbered houses, stone archways, and private gardens. The old harbour (Yat Limani) is now a marina with modern yachts and very nice to spend a evening outside, having a meal or a drink next to the sea.Due to the fact that Antalya is a real tourist center, there is a great infrastructue, many restaurants, shops, disco's etc. There is no need to get bored here. The old harbour is also the place for many open air events and concerts during the summer. Their are many excellent daytrips to be made from Antalya. The ancient sites of Aspendos , Perge , Phaselis , Termessos are all within a distnace of 50 kilometers.
